Definitions

  • the present invention is related to autotransformers, and in particular to a dual-input nine-phase autotransformer.
  • An autotransformer is an electrical transformer with only one winding that acts as both the primary and secondary winding associated with a typical transformer. As a result, autotransformers can be smaller, lighter and cheaper than standard dual-winding transformers. This makes autotransformers an attractive alternative in application (such as aircraft applications) in which weight is an important factor.
  • Autotransformers are often-times employed in AC-DC power conversion systems.
  • AC-DC power conversion may be accomplished with a plurality of diode pairs, each pair connected to a different phase of the AC input, to provide a rectified output.
  • this type of rectifier leads to substantial current harmonics that pollute the electric power generation and distribution system.
  • autotransformers are employed to increase the number of AC phases supplied to the rectifier unit. For example, in an eighteen-pulse converter (an AC-DC converter having an eighteen step staircase current waveform at each of the AC inputs) the autotransformer is used to transform the three-phase AC input, whose phases are spaced at 120°, into a system with nine phases spaced at 40°. This has the effect of reducing the harmonics associated with the AC-DC conversion.
